Rain and storms continue for the Friday morning commute in Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) — After the early morning rain and storms, the rain showers are tapering off.

By mid-morning, skies cleared, giving us plenty of sunshine starting late this morning. 

Friday's afternoon highs will top out near 63 degrees. Overnight, temperatures will drop into the lower 40s, but a few suburbs could get as cool as the upper 30s. 

Looking ahead to the weekend, cool, crisp fall air returns with highs in the upper 50s to the lower 60s. 

Expect a lot of sunshine in the forecast this weekend which will even continue into the start of next week as high pressure settles in.
